Reborn girl from poor family

Chapter 82 Substituting one thing for another (2)

Cao Kaihe responded with a serious look.

Liu Yun stood behind, complaining in his heart, what kind of trick is this great talent? Last night he exposed Xu Ming, forcing Xu Ming to take risks, and today he went straight to Cao Kaihe. Did he actually think he could use the same trick? Drive Cao Kaihe crazy?

What benefit does this do to Shen Huai? Xu Ming is just an official, and all his credentials come from Cao Kaihe. How can the destructive power of the two be comparable!

Because everyone was looking this way, Liu Yun didn't even dare to look at him, and he wondered if he was going to die - his newly hugged thigh seemed unwilling to walk properly.

The new thigh and the old thigh were five feet apart, looking at each other on the same spot, their gazes frozen in mid-air.

The new thigh suddenly laughed: "Master Cao doesn't know General Zhao Qing of Zhenxi? It seems that General Zhao is overheated."

At this time, Qian Yushi had straightened his robes, and in order to ease the atmosphere, he interjected: "Master Shen is talking about General Zhenxi, who was in Guangxi to quell the chaos? Is he related to this case?"

"I'm afraid General Zhao has no time to go to Huai'an," Shen Huai said with a smile: "Shen traveled to Yong'an some years ago and was fortunate enough to meet General Zhao. If we talk about grievances... To be more detailed, he is probably the chieftain of Yong'an."

He was breathing heavily as he spoke, and Cao, Hu, and Liu were all worried about what he was saying.

As soon as the name Yong'an Chieftain came out, the expressions of those people relaxed at the same time visibly.

Liu Yun couldn't help but rub the official hat in his hand on his chest. He had no choice but to go up and down, which made his heart hurt.

Hu Xing came over and asked about Shen Huai's injury with concern, then changed the topic to another place.

However, Qian Yushi asked further: "General Zhao Qing was very effective in quelling the chaos in Guangxi. Did Mr. Shen get help from General Zhao in Yong'an?"

Although the two procuratorates in Beijing are on the same level, they are different after all. The matter of Beijing sending censors and imperial guards to Guangxi this time was not publicized. He did not know Shen Huai's strength, and he came to Huai'an years ago, so the news was not public. He was very well-informed. At this time, he only heard Shen Huai mention Yong'an, and thought that Shen Huai was in danger during the Yong'an rebellion.

Qian Yushi thought that his guess was inseparable, saying that this was how Shen Huai and Zhao Qing formed a close relationship. After all, who among ordinary scholars would go to a war-torn place?

He thought that Shen Hanlin, a great talent, was not only not an ordinary scholar, but also had lofty ambitions and traveled extensively. He might have accumulated a lot of experience in local governance, so he couldn't help but dig deeper into this topic.

Seeing that Hu Xing had managed to break away a little bit, he was pulled back by Qian Yushi. His expression suddenly froze, and he could hardly finish the words in his mouth.

"Well... that's not the case," Shen Huai smiled secretly in his heart. He caught a glimpse of Cao Kaihe staring at him from the corner of his eye, but he just pretended not to know and replied: "It was just a coincidence. I had many friends with General Zhao at the celebration banquet to quell the chaos. We chatted for a few words.”

As he spoke, he looked solemn and turned to Cao Kaihe: "Master Cao, I was also on the river last night. Unfortunately, Shen was injured and had no time to take care of him. I am really ashamed that I failed to take good care of Master Xu."

Cao Kaihe looked at Shen Huai carefully, as if he wanted to see into his mind, "...Master Shen, there is no need to think too much."

But Shen Huai turned to look at Xu Ming's body and asked with concern: "The bandaging took a long time today. I'm late. I want to find out the identity of Mr. Xu's waistband?"

Cao Kaihe's eyelids shrank, a trace of cruelty flashed across his face, but he turned his gaze to Hu Xing.

Hu Xing also turned his attention to Liu Yun.

Liu Yun turned his gaze... Qian Yushi glared and said: "Master Liu, what are you waiting for? Now that everyone is here, if you don't do an autopsy, it's time to go to court!"

According to the protocol, an autopsy is performed first.

Cao Kaihe remained silent and seemed to have acquiesced. Liu Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the officers to go forward and take back Xu Ming's body from the cauldron soldiers. Another officer was ready to take back the several cauldron soldiers who followed Xu Ming last night.

charge.

But when the leading officer stepped forward, his expression suddenly changed, he turned around and shouted: "That's not right!"

What's wrong?

Liu Yun's nerves were already tense. Today, his fortune and life were hanging by a thread, so he couldn't do anything wrong.

At that moment, he immediately shouted: "Why are you so surprised?"

The officer ignored the scolding and circled around the cavalry soldiers again before saying in panic: "Sir, among these people, there are no more cavalry soldiers from last night!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone changed their colors, and some people in the cavalry immediately started making a fuss, asking the officer what he meant, and scolding him for being so daring that he can't recognize people with his dog eyes.

The scene was noisy for a while.

Liu Yun immediately asked his personal followers to come forward to identify him, and Qian Yushi followed immediately.

Poor Qian passed the imperial examination and has been sitting at his desk for many years. He is inevitably dazzled by his middle age. It is not easy to maintain his composure during last night's adventure. How can he remember to recognize people in the chaos?

But he could see Liu Yun's follower look clearly, and within a few moments, he already knew in his mind: If there is no great disaster hidden in this Huai'an Mansion, then there is great merit!

A sneer escaped from the corner of Cao Kaihe's mouth. He exchanged glances with Hu Xing, and the hand that had been holding the ring finger habitually began to adjust the cuffs. He seemed to be ready to take action again.

Liu Yun no longer had time to care whether Cao Kaihe had any useful tools at hand. He just stared blankly at the group of people at the entrance of the government office. Fear slowly climbed up his spine from between his legs. He opened his mouth, but could not spit out anything.

Half a word.

Shen Huai stood still, his eyes moving, taking everything in his eyes calmly.

At this time, the cavalrymen at the door had surrounded the officer who was shouting. Seeing that he was about to take action, Qian Yushi finally shouted loudly. He shouted: "Master Hu, who can make the decision here?!"

Hu Xing waved his hand, and some of the group of cavalry soldiers immediately gradually fell silent, allowing people to distinguish each other.

The city defense and public security of Huai'an Prefecture are different from other places. They are all led by the Cao Governor and assisted by the prefectures and counties. Therefore, the uniforms of the soldiers led by Hu Xing and the Cao soldiers led by Cao Kaihe are not much different. Naturally, they are also different from those temporarily detained.

Counting cavalry is similar.

They are mixed together, and it is difficult for people who do not understand military affairs to distinguish them.

Qian Yushi was now in this confusion. He could only take a rough look at the few soldiers who should have been imprisoned overnight based on what was still moved and what was not moved after Hu Xing issued the order.

However, with Yi Yi's disheveled hair and Yi Yi's bloated clothes, Qian Yushi couldn't tell that these people were any different from when they came out just now.

He doesn't understand, but Liu Yun understands.

——These Cao soldiers are clearly not the same group of people who were snatched out by Cao Kaihe just now.

Liu Yun's expression was full of struggle. He rushed forward and took off the cover on Xu Ming's face. He was shocked again by the pale face. He endured the fear and carefully identified the corpse. It was still the real Xu Ming.

.

When he finally turned around and looked between Cao Kaihe and Hu Xing, he sighed and said bitterly to Cao Kaihe: "Master Cao... do you think this is a bit confusing?"

Cao Kaihe stared with round eyes and said angrily: "Liu Yun, what do you mean? Tell me clearly!"

Hu Xing said with concern: "Mr. Liu, this is in the punishment office, could something else go wrong?"

Liu Yun looked at Hu Xing and easily saw the sinister and evil intentions in his eyes.

Hu Xing even seemed to let him see it on purpose: all the people who were temporarily detained had not left the Yamen and had not gone out for errands. They should be punished according to the punishment. end.

But at this time, Liu Yun had just experienced a near-annihilation disaster on the river, and had his head smashed open by Cao Kaihe on his own territory. He already knew too well: an abandoned pawn is an abandoned pawn, even if he is temporarily subdued. , what awaits him afterwards is still the general ledger liquidation.

Liu Yun's face was uncertain, and the hands holding the official hat almost squeezed the black gauze hat out of shape. He originally had a serious and sharp appearance, but now his eyebrows were gloomy, and a cold light gradually emitted from his eyes.

Finally, he took one last look at Shen Huai, then gritted his teeth and solemnly ordered the officials:

"Now that the matter has come to this point, there is no way out from the punishment—an autopsy first!"

In 26 hours, "The Reborn Girl from a Poor Family" will be on the shelves.
